Little Window on OS X 10.4 Desktop

I know this has probably been answered somewhere, but I just can't
figure it out. On my iMac 20" Intel, the desktop always has a small
window on it, about 3 x 4 inches, that seems to identify a few icons
of places to go -- Network, Firefox, Macintosh HD, MY Book right now
-- and I'd like to get rid of it. Putting it in the trash doesn't work.

This little window has never appeared on my MacBookPro desktop.

Thanks for the help.

Dave

It sounds like you installed some extension that displays the window.
Check your login items & system preferences for anything you might
have installed.

Login, close the window, and immediately log out . . . that ought to
fix it. If it doesn't . . . go into ~/Library/Preferences and trash
com.apple.finder.plist and restart.
